Introducing GP Skin Check Appointments

We’re thrilled to offer a new appointment type - GP Skin Check appointments.

Your skin health is just as important as any other aspect of your wellbeing. With a GP Skin Check, you’re not just getting a thorough skin exam—you’re receiving personalised care from a doctor who understands you and your health.  Many of the doctors practicing from this facility have a special interest in skin checks and treating skin conditions and have completed further study in this field.  Both male and female doctors at IFMC now offer Skin Check appointments.  

Why Choose Skin Check with a General Practitioner?

A GP is uniquely positioned to provide a personalised and thorough assessment. 

  • Your GP Knows You: The doctors practicing from this facility have a comprehensive understanding of your medical history, lifestyle, and any previous skin concerns. This means they can spot changes or potential risks in the context of your overall health and provide tailored advice. They’re familiar with your family history, any medications you’re on, and any other conditions that could impact your skin, allowing for a more holistic approach to your care.

  • Ongoing Care and Follow-Up: A GP is always available to continue your care. Should a lesion need further investigation or if any concerns arise, you already have an established relationship with your doctor, making follow-up easier and more seamless.

  • Trust and Comfort: You’ve built a relationship with your doctor over time, making you more comfortable discussing any skin concerns. Whether it’s a sensitive issue or a question you might hesitate to ask elsewhere, your GP is the trusted professional who can guide you with care and confidence.

What to Expect During Your Skin Check:

  • Comprehensive Skin Assessment: Your GP will carefully examine your skin (including any lesions you are concerned about), taking into account your personal health history and any risk factors.

  • Education & Advice: Your GP can discuss the signs of skin cancer and other common skin conditions, providing you with practical advice on skin care and sun safety.

  • Clear Next Steps: If any concerns arise, your GP will discuss the best course of action with you, and when to follow up with them.  

Your skin health is just as important as any other aspect of your wellbeing. With a GP Skin Check, you’re not just getting a thorough skin exam—you’re receiving personalised care from a doctor who understands you and your health.
